Question

Your friend is selling 5 tickets to the next ice hockey game for $80. You can buy 3 tickets online for $50. Which source offers the best price? Explain.

Answer 1

80$ because 50 divided by 3 is 16.67 and 80 divided by 5 is 16 so yeah $80

Answer 2

Divide the total costs by the number of tickets and compare:

$80 / 5 = $16 per ticket.

$50 / 3 = $16.67 per ticket.

It's cheaper to buy the 5 tickets from your friend.
